    BJS 2.0 is a completely different animal from the old model. This is a breathtaking display of slickness.

    Almost as bad as the Seldin/Ulisse mismatch.

    Right?? Lemieux is more dangerous than his 3 next best career opponents to date, combined - and yet he fought more scared against some of them.

    Best BJS performance so far. At this best, he is very hard to beat.

    Between his fights against Jacobs and Canelo which were only 6 months apart?

    Think a little bit.

    This is just brilliant boxing from range. Landing good slashing punches over and over. Saunders cockily showboating now too, in front of an only occasionally groaning home crowd. Is this 8 rounds? 8-0.

    Good start to 9th for Lemieux, but BJS takes over. Lemieux comes back though and am giving him that round as landed this bigger shots.

    89-82 (8 rounds to 1 round for bjs)

    If I were his corner I'd tell LMU to swarm. Don't load up, just let 'em fly. Give Saunders more than he can handle. If he hits you he hits you, just keep throwing leather. Throw three or four for each of his and let the chips fall where they may.
